There’s an oft-repeated phrase that couldn’t be truer for the Wales children: “Babies don’t keep.” Wasn’t it just yesterday that Prince George was born and we were all anxiously anticipating the announcement of his name? Well, that was 10 years ago this month (!). George has grown up before our very eyes, as has his little sister Princess Charlotte and little brother Prince Louis. Now, at eight, The Daily Express reports, Charlotte is “keen to show how quickly she is growing up”—but not too fast, okay?
A body language expert speaking to the outlet zoomed in on the close relationship between Prince William and his only daughter, on full display at this year’s Trooping the Colour. (Did you catch this sweet father-daughter moment?) And, while Charlotte—who William lovingly refers to as “Lottie” or “Mignonette”—appreciates her dad’s affection, she also wants to show how mature she is. William, for his part, respects Charlotte’s desire for independence, said body language expert Judi James.
